“Hometown Hero” sees Caleb looking back on how his view of his home city, Hastings, New York, has changed over the years.
[Verse 1: Caleb Flood]
Hit the gas and let's go racing on these streets we used to know
Something's changed this time around, yeah
These streets don't feel like home
It's a challenge, trying to balance where I'm going with where I'm from
[Chorus: Caleb Flood]
So long, so long, never looking back when I go
So long, too far gone, never be a hometown hero
Never be, never be, never be a hometown hero
Never be, never be, never be a hometown hero
(Never be a hometown hero)
(Never be)
[Verse 2: Caleb Flood]
Face the facts, I'm getting older, and these streets shift their shape
Something's changed somewhere inside me
The streets, they take new names
[Chorus: Caleb Flood]
So long, so long, never looking back when I go
So long, too far gone, never be a hometown hero
Never be, never be, never be a hometown hero
Never be, never be, never be a hometown hero
[Bridge: Caleb Flood]
Race down these streets we used to know
And all that's left is our ghosts
Never look back when I go
Never be a hometown hero
Race down these streets we used to know
And all that's left is our ghosts
Never look back when I go
Never be a hometown hero
[Chorus: Caleb Flood]
Never be, never be, never be a hometown hero
Never be, never be, never be a hometown hero
Never be, never be, never be a hometown hero
Never be, never be, never be a hometown hero
